With no splitter, he's just begging for a kickback. I don't see that there's
any greater inherent danger of amputations with this setup than with any other
table saw, though, except to the extent that someone who would engage in this
sort of redneck rigging is less likely to observe proper safety precautions
than someone who would instead buy, borrow, or rent the right equipment.

As far as I can tell, the thing is just sitting on those two "table
horses or whatever they're called" and not attached in any way.

I wouldn't want to use something like that instead of my table saw, but in
reality, there is nothing necessarily dangerous with that setup. I'd even
disagree with Doug's comment above yours - it's not "begging" for a
kickback. Kickback is dependent on factors and techniques in cutting a
piece of wood - not on the presence of a splitter, or lack thereof.

He has a rip fence on his contraption. As long as it is as parallel as your
rip fence, then he suffers no greater risk than you do. Friction with the
top? that has never been a contributor to kick back. All that does is make
a slower cut. Slipping off the saw horses? There is an inherent
coefficient of friction based on the weight of the contraption and it will
require more friction than that to cause it to slip off the horses. It's
not even evident that the "table" is not secured to the horses, or otherwise
prevented from slipping. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't.

Hey, he is wearing safety glasses.
My concern, other than the redneck on-off switch, is how that saw is
secured to the bottom of the board and is that board secured to the saw
horses.

As far as I can tell, the thing is just sitting on those two "table
horses or whatever they're called" and not attached in any way.

The 'table horses' have 2x4s attached to their tops, and the table saw
rig is screwed down to those.

That's a pretty typical job site jury-rig when there's no table saw on
site and only a few pieces have to be cut. In many ways it's a lot
safer than when framer's disable the blade guard on a circular saw and
are leaning over with a wide-legged stance. You're always balancing
time and efficiency versus risk, and you'll know pretty clearly when
you've underestimated the risk.

LOL.
I used a similar set-up for my first two years woodworking.
My saw didn't have the potential for dust collection though. ;-)
But it did have an inline switch.

Right! Every commercial table saw comes with a splitter these days!

Most are in a box somewhere in the shop.

There have been lots of "goog" saws in the past that had no splitter
- and if you are CAREFULL and know what you are doing setting up the
saw, they don't kick back any worse than a normal saw with a
splitter. But they need to be set up accurately.

It's pretty common to see setups like that on construction sites,
especially siding jobs, in my area.
I used to have a commercially available table saw "adapter" that used
my skill saw in the same way - significantly refined, with a nifty
very effective switch and all that. Got rid of it and got myself a
good old cast iron BEAVER 8" table saw that did me for quite a few
more years before I decided to downsize my wood shop - joined a
woodworking club for when I needed equipment other than my hand tools
and hand power tools.

With no splitter, he's just begging for a kickback. I don't see that
there's
any greater inherent danger of amputations with this setup than with
any other table saw, though, except to the extent that someone who
would engage in this sort of redneck rigging is less likely to
observe proper safety precautions
than someone who would instead buy, borrow, or rent the right
equipment.

Right! Every commercial table saw comes with a splitter these days!

Most are in a box somewhere in the shop.



LOL! mine is long gone in a land fill somewhere.

*whispers* psssst..., Mike... you're supposed to plug it in and let
the saw do all the work....

g,d&r

I tried that... I left a pile of wood near the saw and plugged it in.
Even turned it on...

Apparently it didn't work, or the saw decided the wood was already cut
to the exact dimensions I needed anyway. (Don't you hate it when your
project and the saw's project don't match up?)

We don't have to say it is, it is. You can see the X in the closer,
lower right screw head if you blow up the vid to full screen.

I love the on - off switch! Definitely low tech.

At least he isn't leaning his hand on the table (or blade) while
reaching under it to hit the switch & hold the lock button in, eh?

P.S: Who thinks that redneck could _ever_ count to ten?

Why?

Yea, he'll still (hopefully) have his toes.

You haven't seen him use his homemade bandsaw yet, have you?

He has a rip fence on his contraption. As long as it is as
parallel as your rip fence, then he suffers no greater risk than you
do.
Friction with the top? that has never been a contributor to kick
back. All that does is make a slower cut. Slipping off the saw
horses? There is an inherent coefficient of friction based on the
weight of the contraption and it will require more friction than
that to cause it to slip off the horses. It's not even evident
that the "table" is not secured to the horses, or otherwise
prevented from slipping. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't.

I thought it was pretty evident the thing wasn't attached, but let's
say it is. It takes very little force to topple most saw horses in
the direction his are set up. Certainly FAR less than what it takes
to move my Delta.

Mike - you need to add some weight to that Delta. I've never pushed
my Craftsman across the garage floor - but then I don't try to force
wood that should not require that much force through my saw,


Yeah, whatever.
Bottom line, you seem to think the operation of the saw in that video
is perfectly safe.

Nah - not that I think it's pretty safe. Not even something I would
consider to be a regular part of my wood working practices. I just don't
think it's a dangerous as has been suggested here.
